Last week, we had the honour of featuring Sophia Aya and Kat Kikta as they took us on a transcendental trip, inviting us to connect with our heart’s centre and the universe with the cosmic opus, The Sea Of Almost, so when we heard that the consistently brilliant Kat Kikta was back today with Your Voice In My Ear, we couldn’t wait to listen and share our experience.

The composition opens with a cerebral, yet meditative energy with spoken word ad libs forming a conversation-style interaction. In line with The Sea Of Almost, this feels like the beginning of a DMT trip. Highly psychedelic and connected in nature. The panning vocals, the oneness, the intertwined souls, all create a prophetic, philosophical energy that feels like the universe talking to us.

“I want you to feel, me…” whisper the voices. The intimacy is beautiful. The female vocal is almost in tears, delicate in its essence, and the in-breaths add soul. The male voice is guiding and poetic. There is a cinematic allure, reminding us of the movie Her (2013).

The piece expands with trippy, almost industrial details, beeping sounds and a textured beat that is subtle but driving at the same time, as if we are on a cosmic adventure with the artist. It’s ethereal in nature, conscious in design and peaceful in its creation. We feel warm and at one with the cosmic. Perfect for a mushroom trip!

Kat shares, “The song intricately explores a deeply sexual and tender flirtation unfolding within a strangely disembodied space; it could be a long-distance phone call or a cyber-psychic melding of minds. As we listen, the boundaries between physical yearning and profound soulful connection blur, like a tide line, creating a transient atmosphere filled with emotional depth and connection. This exchange is driven by sonic and lyrical complexity that complements the song’s ambitious concept, evoking the essence of 80s pioneers like Laurie Anderson.”

As always, we are in awe of Kat Kikta, and have added Your Voice In My Ear to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our TIMELESS and TRIPPY playlists, whilst we continue to stream the instrumental version, as well as The Sea Of Almost, and anticipate future releases from the visionary artist!
